Fun fact: In August 30th 2015, Sega partnered up with Rovio Entertainment to make an event on each game featuring a crossover between Sonic and the Angry Birds franchise. Sonic can be playable in Angry Birds Epic, while The three main birds Red, Chuck and Bomb are playable characters in Sonic Dash. Unfortunately, it was for a limited time.

Sonic boom TV series had very good dialogue and humor.
You didn't mention that choosing Classic or Modern Sonic completely changes the gameplay between 2D side-scrolling and 2D/3D hybrid. For example, that means you can play Green Hill as a modern stage or City Escape as a classic stage. It's wild.

I’ve always assumed Sonic 4 Episode 3 fizzled out as things evolved with SOA, Sega Networks & F2P etc. I guess it’s been long enough that it’s not relevant any more, but I was briefly asked if I would be interested in collaborating with Sega Studios Australia (Who did the Castle of Illusion remake) as a potential dev team to work on the third one. Sadly though, SSA were shut down, and Stealth and I worked on the Sonic 1 & 2 remasters in late 2012-2013. Of course, you never know, Sonic Team could one day decide Ep3 should happen, but Ken pretty much confirms my personal thoughts.
The Mediocre Era of Sonic games after Sonic Generations were the good times and bad times for Sonic games. Hope pt.8 of Sonic the hedgehog talks more about the Post-Modern Sonic Era. Keep up the good work, Flatlife.

here is a fact about the sonic 4 series. sonic 4 episode 3 was actually planned to be made which took place after the events of the 2nd game. however, the game was scrapped due to low ratings of the previous games.
I would be stay tuned for the last episode
Fun fact: it was originally planned to be 3 Sonic the Hedhehog 4 episodes. It was cancelled because episode 2 wasn't succesful as episode 1.

Thanks for the video! Was waiting for this part to come out. Unpopular fact from me: Despite Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric being considered one of the worst games in the franchise, it was the game that introduced me to the Sonic franchise. From that point on, I instantly got hooked onto Sonic the Hedgehog. Think that was weird? The Boom designs for the characters look cool. (IMO, VERY UNPOPULAR OPINION)

8:34 this is still a huge problem because few people who played it. Made mods of this on every moddable games. The modder of Friday Night Funkin' made one in that game and most people who made other mods are getting ignored by that and they were pretty upset because most of the good mods of FNF were underrated because of the Sonic.exe mod. 15:56 that gameplay in the background. There were a cancelled Sonic game that planned to used back in the 90's that was called Sonic X-Treme for Sega Saturn. It was cancelled due to Framerate issues, a lot of lack of delays, and 2 developers were having a fatal ill which they ended up leaving the studio. The game was planned to be released before Christmas but then got replaced by Sonic 3D Blast that was in development for the Genesis/MegaDrive that time

What about the movie series cinematic universe of sonic it seems it's been trending crazy even the old sonic boom
After you done the sonic, the hedgehog video can you do Walt Disney animated studios
After watching these all i quite enjoyed it, However you did touch on one of my favourite TV shows early on but you didn't quite include much on it... I'm talkin about the Sonic SatAM show with Sonic, Sally and the knothole freedom fighters, But you probably already know that. Look forward to your next video but before i go I'd like to ask something of you if you dont mind, I noticed you use alot of the original soundtrack from the earlier games... Would you mind uploading them and providing me a link for download please? Either way, you have a new subscriber as i look forward to part 8. Tanks and take care
I had the Sonic Dash game, thank you!
You should do an Evolution of Mario series after this one. If not Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, and Pac-Man would all be video game franchises I would love to see.

16:29 Sonic runners. One of the games that had the potential to be great. And frankly Gamesoft's version doesn't look good. I don't care what anyone else says, but the visuals are just awful. If I compared them, it's like looking at a cheap knock-off. Perhaps even the fan game Sonic Runners Reloaded looks better than this. Plus it's not an endless runner anymore. Why download this when the fans of the original game dusted it off and released it as Sonic Runners Revival.

Sonic lost world got a bad wrap. The story isn't good but sonic isn't know for its incredible storytelling. The gameplay is what matters and its super fun and engaging. I made sure to download the DLC on my wiiu before the eshop closes and even the dlc is super fun.
Im suprised that sonic forces isnt here. It was widley hated (tho i liked it) so yeah
In Sonic Generations, it allows you to play Sonic The Hedgehog 1 if you collect 7777 points!
fun fact: in my home country i know an arcade place which has a...mario and sonic london olympic games arcade cabinete and an arcade port of sonic dash which uses a huge d-pad to move and jump! sadly...the d-pad was unresponcive....and i wasted my money! gReaT!

Its so weird seeing sonic 4 having good reviews back then since now all you see is hate for it lmao
It is funny how 'well recieved' Sonic 4 was considering it is the worst mainline sonic game.
